Airport express not working since today's itunes update

Since updating iTunes today, Airport Express not working. More specifically, the Airport software will recognise the device exists, but iTunes cannot connect to it, just getting error message.

try this:
go system preferences > network > airport > advanced > TCP/IP and set *configure IPv6* to off. click on apply.
now have iTunes connect to the remote speaker again.

Printing from within iTunes has stopped working since my last iTunes update.

Printing from within iTunes has stopped working since my last iTunes update. Using Toshiba Satellite Pro Windows 7 and HP printer.

That's too bad.
If/when help is truly desired, try providing some specifics of what is occurring, such as any errors that may occur when attempting to print and what specifically is attempting to be printed.

Certain apps on my iphone are not working since the IOS 6 update, all at tempts to resolve this issue have failed. Has anyone got any suggestions. Thanks

If you don't tell us what solutions you've already taken, we're probably going to waste a lot of time telling you to do things you've already done.

Airport express not working with apple products

We have been trying to get airport express to work with a macbook pro, ipad2, iphone, laptop, htc wildfire - havent even tried the air music or printer yet!
We have a green light on the airport express which is connected to an ntl cable modem(virgin media network).
Currently the only thing that will connecy is the laptop and my htc phone. All the apple products will not connect?
We went to the apple store today and it worked grand when it was plugged in - the apple products all worked.
The network comes up on ipad2 but when you press connect it says 'unable to connect'
can anyone help us please?
thank you

I have the same issue. Mine fixed itself for a bit and now it's broken again. I'm thinking it's going to be intermittently broken. I've tried turning both devices off and on again but that did not help.

HT2508 airport Express not working in Mountain Lion

My old airport express stopped working properly since I loaded Mountain Lion. I purchased a new Airport Express and it will work, but the audio fades in and out. I am connected from the airport express unit to my audio receiver via a 3.5 out into RCA (red/white) connector into the receiver. Can someone suggest a cure?

I have three printers up and running connected to an Air Port Express,
and since I upgraded to Lion I can't connect to any of them, so I continued using SL on this MBP17.
System Preferences does not show any of my printers.
I opened Air Port and it says I need to update.
When I click on the update button, it takes me to the App Store, but no Air Port Software — What gives?
Now having the same problems with Mountain Lion.
Hoped ML would fix the problem, but NO.
I find I have to save documents to a flash drive and go to my old PowerMac G4 to print.
Steve we miss you. Apple is going to crap without you.

Airport Express not working with Comcast

I used to have AT&T and had my airport working well. Yesterday i changed to Comcast and my airport is not working the light stays yellow.. I tried resetting it but it didn't work.. I use it with my old Cisco router and its working. Whats wrong with my Airport Express? My computers are Windows 7

A solid amber light indicates that the AirPort Express has locked up....or it is defective.
Suggest you that try a Factory Default Reset as follows:
Pull the Express from power
Let it rest for a few minutes
Hold in the reset button and keep holding it for another 8-10 seconds while you plug the Express back in to power
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow 40-45 seconds to restart
The Express should display a slow, blinking amber light at this time
If you continue to see a solid amber light after a few tries with a Factory Default Reset, the Express has failed and it will need to be replaced.

Airport Express Not Working

Maybe someone can give me a hand. The airport express is working great for AirTunes but will not hookup to the internet. We've plugged in via ethernet wire and it works fine. We've also tried resetting the airport and unplugging it, resetting our computer. No dice. On the top of the computer screen the aiport indicator reads full internet perfectly but cannot connect. We're stumped.
Thanks for anyone who can give us a hand.

Assuming you have a green light and you wireless mac can see the network but you have no internet; unplug the cablemodem for a minute.

Airport express not working with 8.0

Airport Express not working with Motorola Surfboard Sb6141 and TWC

My 2012 Airport Express was working fine with my Motorola Surfboard Sb6141 and TWC until about a week ago when the signal started dropping constantly. I hard wired the modem to my computer and everything worked fine. I took the Airport Express to the Genius Bar and it is working fine. I have followed the instructions posted throughout this board to reset the AE to factory settings, then turn everything off for 1/2 hour, turn on just the modem, the the AE 15 minutes later and the computer 15 minutes after that, but to no avail. When I try to set up the AE using Airport Utility, it allows me to assign a name and password, but then the light goes to solid amber and I get "An unexpected error occurred. Try again." Any ideas?

I'm still struggling trying to get the SB6141 to stay connected with my Airport Extreme but it drops altogether every day or 2 but if you're looking for an alternative, I've heard the Netgear CMD31T works well with the airport.

Airport express not working hardwired to Apple TV 6.0 update

Airport express keeps losing connection to Internet after updated to Apple TV 6.0. Disconnected Ethernet from Apple TV to Airport Express and airport express working again. Anyone else having this issue?

Seems really, really, really strange that updating the ATV is affecting the Airport Express. Has the ATV or Airport Express been power cycled?

AirPlay from iTunes to AirPort Express not working

AirPort is connected with my network and fully working. I also set up AppleTV, which also is fully working and can mirror both my computer and iPhone. In order to play music from iTunes on my Macbook Pro (which is also connected to the network), I clicked the AirPlay button and received the following message: "An unknown error (-15006)occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device 'AirPort Express'". How do I get my iTunes on my MacBook Pro to connect?

I finally resolved this myself. It was somehow "stuck" on a playlist. I could not stream from the main library, but once I tried to stream from that particular playlist - the whole thing started working again. Now I can stream from the main library and other playlists. A very strange quirk. I did rent a movie in iTunes last night for the first time and I had been streaming from that playlist prior to starting the rental movie - and I think somehow it must have gotten "stuck." Hopefully it is a bug no one else experiences because it wasted an hour of my time today.

Airport Express not working with iTunes

After experiencing cutting out and poor sound quality, I reset my Airport Express to factory settings. It is part of of my network with an Airport Extreme. Everything appears to be correctly configured and I get a message indicating it was successful, but then I get an error message after the restarting of the Airport Express and I can no longer see airport Express listed in the Airport Utility window. Playing iTunes through my stereo speakers does not work. In order to attempt the configuration again, I have to reset the Airport Express to see it in the window again. I get the same result each time. Can you suggest anything in the configuration of my Airport Express which would be causing the problem I have an iMac running OS 10.4 Thanks for your help.

I had a similar problem. My solution was NOT to use the Airport Utility application. Make sure you reset your airport express then do the following:
1/ Open Preferences
2/ Choose Network
3/ Highlight Airport and insure it is clicked "ON".
4/ See if it shows up under "Network Name"....if it does click "Apply".
Let me know if u get it working...

DTS (5.1) Audio Through Airport Express: Not Working

I imported some DTS-encoded WAV files into iTunes, to stream to my audio system via an Airport Express. The AE is connected to the preamp via optical, the WAV files were not converted or modified in any way, and the volume is @ 100% in iTunes.
The preamp receives the files and the DTS icon lights up, so all seems to be good... except the audio output is 2.0 only. As a test I converted the files to Apple Lossless (since I know the AE has to make that conversion), same result.
As another test I turned down the volume in iTunes and the audio became white noise, another indication that the files are DTS.
If I burn an audio CD using iTunes and the same WAV files, and play them on my OPPO player I get 5.1, the final and conclusive proof that the files are properly encoded.
I know I've read that streaming DTS-encoded audio via the Airport Express is possible, so I'm not sure what I might be doing wrong.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I experienced some DTS files in iTunes, with my AirPort Express some months ago, it was working fine on my Marantz receiver. A few days ago I wanted to listen to them again, only white noise... I wanted to rip by myself a DTS-CD, therefore I found this out. Apparently since AirTunes has been turned to AirPlay, it's not working anymore (?) / the same way.

Airport Express not working when used with Broadband Router **HELP!!!**

Hello.
I have an ethernet network in my house, and I am connected to the network via a Linksys router for Broadband VOIP and internet. I am on a G5 in my home office and want to stream music to my Airport Express for my home stereo in the living room, via the ethernet connection.
The problem is that when using the router in my network, only the Admin Utility sees the base station-- iTunes does not.
If I remove the router from the equation altogether and plug the network ethernet cable directly into the G5, the AX in the other room works just fine and I can get internet on the G5 in the office. The problem is that I need the router to operate my Vonage VOIP phone service and to connect a second computer to the internet as well. The IP address for the router in the home office is "192.168.x.xxx" and when I try moving it to the living room and connecting the AX to it, the Admin Asst doesn't see the AX at all.
When I connect the router to the network in the office, I can use internet on both computers and the VOIP phone service, and the AX Admin Asst. sees the base station from the other room. But again, iTunes does not.
Is there a way to configure the router to see the AX?
Thanks for your help!

Forgive me if this a little off thread, but I have just managed to get this to work and thought it might help people with similar configuration issues (mix manufacturer wireless networks)
I received an Airport Express (FW v. 6.3) for Christmas this year. I already am using a D-Link DI-524 wireless(G) router (Rev A FW 1.03) for my Comcast cable modem in my house (downstairs). What I wanted to do is to add the Airport Express in my office upstairs to my network (client mode) so that I could print from my HP Deskjet 3740 printer and listen to iTunes on my stereo through Airtunes. I have two iBooks (G3) with regular (802.11b) airport cards in them) running Tiger.
I ran into a couple of snags though. I could see the printer in Rendezvou and I could see the airport express in iTunes. I however could not print to the printer or connect to the speakers. I was able to connect to the speakers very intermittenly and then the audio would be disrupted every few seconds.
After a bit of hacking, what I found is that it seems that WPA PSK security doesn't work between the two. I changed the security to 128 bit WEP (ASCII mode). This means that you need an exactly 13 character pass phrase. This is necessary because Apple (and pretty much only Apple) supports 40 bit WEP (5 chars) and D-Link (and the rest of the Windows wireless universe) supports 64 bit WEP (7 chars), but they both support 128 bit WEP. I assume you could set both up as an open network if you were far enough from your neighbors, but I am in a townhouse complex, so I thought I probably better have some security on the network.
Now I only see one network (the one set up on my D-Link router) and I can print to my printer and stream to my stereo through iTunes (without disruption). Seems to work seemlessly now.
I should also mention that I did about three other things. I moved the LAN subnet on the D-link router to 192.168.1.1 (DHCP client address are now between 1.100 and .1.200) I had heard that this was necessary since both routers tried to use the 192.168.0 subnet, but I think this is only necessary in relay mode. I also statically assigned the IP address for the Airport Express. Finally I set up a firewall rule of Source WAN/LAN IP addresses of 192.168.1.100-200 of any protocol from ports 1-20000 to the same destination address range should be allowed to allow for all LAN traffic to be passed. I am very certain this is unnecessary and possible dangerous for security, but I thought I should mention that I did it.
Hope this might help someone.

Airport express not working after updating to 7.6.3

Hi all,
I bought my airport express about 6 months ago. It's been working perfectly. Then this morning, I woke up to the blinking amber lights, not good.
I restarted the modem, and checked the connection (by hooking up my mbp directly to the modem) and everything is fine. I plugged in the ethernet cable to airport express, powered down then up, no luck. Airport utility popped up (on my mbp) asking me to update firmware to 7.6.3 (I had 7.6.2). So I reconnected my mbp to the modem and updated the firmware, connected the ethernet cable back to airport express, powered down/up, still no luck. I grew desperate and did a hard reset, still nothing!
I am not sure what happened here, or if anything had changed, since it was working fine as I went to bed last night.
anyone else seen this before? i checked with Apple, it seems that my airport express is out of the free-repair period.
pls help
thanks a lot

Worked on it some more and finally realized that I've plug the ethernet cable in the LAN port instead of WAN port. So, internet is back. Still don't know what happened (when it died), but owell.
